    Desperation

    You are telling me something is useless and yet you are an unprofitable trader.

    Desperation

    I don't understand what you are getting at? Yes, MP is a tool I use, as well as many others. Have you actually understood MP, applied it and gotten negative results? No need to get hostile here, I'm not looking for a pissing match. You attitude speaks volumes at the moment. EDIT...

    Ok. I've posted this link numerous times but here it is again anyway: http://www.cbot.com/cbot/docs/handbook.pdf Take a month and digest this info, create some of your own models from it and experiement on paper. If you do that and can formulate some general conclusions, as well as answer...

    Desperation

    I know you did and I didn't mean to be an asshole, so don't take it that way (I apologize if thats how it came across). It just sounds to me like you are having a very hard time and it might do you some good to get away from trading, online forums, anything market related, etc etc.. for a while...

    Desperation

    Ripley, Why are you posting this? I have been reading your posts for quite some time and I cannot understand for the life of me why you even post at all. You have little confidence in yourself, your strategy - let alone YOU ADMIT on a regular basis that its impossible to take money from...

    Agreed. The book makes the government out to be heroes.

    Gordon Gekko

    Other way around. Boesky was Miliken's bitch, as was Drexel, Lambert, Burnham and numerous other high profile Wall Street firms/IBanks. Miliken was able to pressure/extort his clients via clever market making. He sat on both sides off most deals and essentially set the spread as high as he...

    Daytrader Paradox

    I have a very difficult time taking profits. I hold winners until I'm able to absolutely convince myself that its time to get out. This is often hard to do as my judgement always reverts to superficial analysis like "this is one of many trades, hold out for your anticipated price", or "can I...

    Caffeine addiction

    Grey Goose and club soda is usually my drink of choice - however, my problem exists in that I tend to over do it (yes, when I party, the last thing on my mind is discipline - I have to be disciplined enough as it is). Because it is so filling, beer helps in limiting my alcohol intake - but it...

    I must be out of my mind!

    This is a "real job". The only difference is that in this world, incompetency means everyone else taking your money. You can get by with ignorance and laziness in most other jobs. That just doesn't work in the markets. You ever watch the "Real World"? It time to "Start Getting Real" Nathan.

    Hydro, I got a good friend who is just like you - same views and attitudes. Good stuff. He can't hold down a girl for more than 3 weeks, but the guy gets laid more than anyone I know. I've done that "player" stuff, going out, one night stands, different girl every other week... it just...

    I must be out of my mind!

    Don't take this personally, but I don't think you even know what hard work is yet. Why don't you try complete devotion and time to your goal and then come here telling us that you're out of your mind? Guess what - without an education, you ain't got much. The only thing thats going to get you...

    Trading and Dating

    I am 27, no kids, no real responsibilities. I wanted something fast, AWD, safe, non-flashy and has good luxury. This car fits my needs very well. Also, for a "big" car, it handles really well - the ride is smooth and controlled. I also have a truck that I take to the beach and all that.

    Trading and Dating

    Just curious - how old are you? It would be interesting to know your age given your opinions. I ask because certain people will never be happy no matter what they do to their body (mostly older women who want to stay "preserved" - I see quite a bit of them around where I live). However...

    Trading and Dating

    I personally don't mind small boobs. What I don't like is when a woman is insecure with her body. For example - I dated this girl at one point who would only have sex/be nude with the lights off. She didn't want me to see something about her body that would deter my interest. Mind you she...

    Trading and Dating

    If the girl has been through a money roller coaster than she just may stick around......if she hasn't she needs a little stability and who doesn't? [/B] Well, you're right and I can understand that. Take into consideration that however stable things seem at the moment, life has a way of...

    Trading and Dating

    Maybe for some people it is. Frankly, I want to be safe in my viechle and if that means spending a considerable amount of money for it - then be it. I've been in and witnessed too many horriffic car accidents. Currently, I know I can be blindsided by a truck in my car and theres a good chance...
